Members of Science 451
Update: I sorted the member list in alphabetical order, to make it easier to find whoever you are looking for. Also added membership dates (these can be somewhat vague)
This is a fairly brief list of the members S451 has had during the years, and whatever facts I could still find about them. Please note that most members hasnt been updated since 97, so "what they are doing now" is most likely incorrect.
Bilbo:(1/11 1987 - January 1990) From Vortex 42. Was mainly a cracker, even though he traded with a lot of ppl and also did some coding. From the Swedish city Mjolby.
Captain Rock:(March 1988 - June 1988) Dutch coder, originally from Beatless.
CDC:(August 1989 - November 1989) A friend of Karl XII, who according to my latest records is unemployed. Now and then travels to Norway. Also plays in the same band as Karl XII.
Dirty C:(???) I have no records on this scener, but according to his own presentation on CSDb he was a member. Still trying to confirm this scener.
Euzkera: (1991 something) Was member for a short while, but under the name of Nitzer. The story goes something like this; Euzkera had promised Odin to join S451 once he left Censor Design, but he didnt want to leave Censor except for quitting the scene. So, he quit the scene as Euzkera, and made a short comeback using the name Nitzer. Only known (to me) release is the crack of Team Tetris.
